Global consumption of natural graphite has increased from approximately 600,000 tonnes in 2000 to roughly 1.1 million tonnes in 2011. Demand for graphite has been increasing by approximately 5 % per year since 2000 due to the continuing modernization of China, India and other emerging economies, resulting in strong demand from traditional end uses such as the steel and automotive industries. Graphite also has many important new applications such as lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, nuclear and solar power that have the potential to create significant incremental demand growth. There is roughly 10-20 times more graphite in a lithium-ion battery than there is lithium.
Graphite Mining with a Socio-Environmental Mission
Natural graphite is at the center of the “green” revolution.
Why Invest In the Graphite Market?
Demand for graphite is expected to rise as electric vehicles and lithium battery technology are adopted. 15 Li-ion mega-factories are either in construction or are expanding which will grow the production capacity 521% by 2020.
